Tennis Tourn ainent.

Four OF the members of the Bonita Lawn
Tennis Club Of this place having received
a challenge from four of the Danvile Club
to play them at the Danville grounds, a
game was arranged between them for last
Saturday afternoon. Invitations were ex-
tended to all the members of the club here
to accompany the players to Danville and
quite number went down. The party
started about three o'clock in the band
wagon, drawn by four horses, and arrived
at Danville at half-past four. The game was
begun at five o'clock, and continued until
nearly eight six sets being played.
The teams of the two clubs were as fol-
lows:
1st. Leverett and Smith, of Bloom,
VS..
kase and Holloway, of Danville.
Cd. Funston and Rishton, of Bloom,
VS..
Jennings and Wooley, of Danvlle.
The score was as follows every set being
beaten by Danville:
1st teams. I'd teams
|. 3D. /. VI.
9. Go. 2. CO.
S. 6-5. g. 6-2.
The game between the first teams would
probably have been much Closer but Mr.
Smith hurt his ankle in running In the sec.
ond set, and was compelled to stop playing
| for short time. He afterwards resumed
his position, but was unable to run, which,
of course, hindercd his playing to great
extent. Probably, when the members of
our club have had more practice, they will
be able to make better showing against
| Danville than they did this time.
After the game, the party returned to the
Montour House, where they took supper, and
shortly after 10 the start was made for home,
which was reached about half-past eleven,
after a delightful ride through the moon
| light.

A Wife's Wages.

Nothing more true can be said of
the false idea that man supports"
his wife than the following from an
exchange:
Let a man become widower and
he soon learns what the financial
worth of his wife was to him. When
he is compelled to hire the food cook
ed, the garments made or mended,
the washing and ironing done, he
finds that about one half of his in
come is required to meet these out
goes. Who saved this expense before?
Let the cold fingers and the silent lips
in yonder graveyard bear testimony.
1t is said with truth that a young
man can get married and keep house
about as cheaply as to live single and
pay for his board, washing, mending,
etc.; and why? Simply because his
wife really earns almost as much as
ne does.
The family purse should be as ac-
cessible to a faithful wife as to the
husband. What man would consent
to become a partner in a company in
which his brother partner should
alone have control Of the company's
funds? There is no one thing more
degrading and depressing to a hard
working wife, than to feel that she
must beg like a tramp for every cent
she spends beyond her food, which as
truly belongs to her as though she
earned it as a domestic or shop girl
These are plain words, but it is time
to utter them and act upon them.
